I'm looking toaday also after smaller axes, I have some peculiar finds.
I do have that book, it is the revised edition and signed by Hartzler. I use it often.

Hi broadaxe,

Your user name should say it all but now we got the proof: very well done!!!

I would be glad if you shared the new arrangement with us and would be especially interested in your earliest pieces which are sadly cut off in your present image.

Best,
Michael

Thanks Michael

Well, as I wrote above, I use today the same way of dispaly, but I made an attempt to arrange the axes in a thematic/geographic order. It is better now than before, but since space is, after all, limited, I had no chioce but to spoil the good order for the sake of space. Nevertheless, I'll make some photos for you all to see, along your request. If by any chance I forget, say within 3-4 days, do not hesitate to nag me through PM. Happy holidays!

Well, here are pics of my display. It's very hard to get good focus & lighting in such photos, so if you have special requests to see individual items please ask.

That's what each monothematic collection should try to achieve: a perfectly constructed concept.

Congratulations,
Michael

Thanks guys. Well, this is not so perfect, I had to do some compromises because of the space limit.

WOW! THATS QUITE A COLLECTION OF AXES, I DIDN'T SEE ANY EXAMPLES OF OCEANIC FIGHTING AXES, IS YOUR COLLECTION MOSTLY EUROPEAN?. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY AXES LIKE THE ONES IN YOUR SECOND PICTURE (ONES WITH HORSES, FOX, BIRDS AND A BEAR) WHAT WERE THEY USED FOR AND WHERE ARE THEY FROM?
I USE A SIMULAR SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING WEAPONS IT CAN SUPPORT A LOT OF WEIGHT AND PLASTIC TIE WRAPS CAN BE EASILY REMOVED TO REARRANGE THE DISPLAY OR REMOVE AN ITEM FOR STUDY. CONGRADULATIONS ON A GREAT COLLECTION.
